UPDATED: CB4 Cracks Top 5 in NBA.com's "Race to the MVP" (#5)!!

CB finally cracks the Top 10 list of players in the "race to the MVP" and deservedly so. He has been a consistent performer this season and is averaging career highs in many categories. Glad to see the folks over at NBA.com are showing him some love.

If there is one thing The Race distastes, it is the feral notion that somebody has been unfairly excluded from this lofty list of players about which we pontificate on a weekly basis.
And so guilt has been a constant companion for The Race this season because, if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor, Toronto's Chris Bosh has been an itch that has been unable to be scratched.
Bosh, the most-discussed free agent in the upcoming class because he is the one most likely to leave his current team, clearly has been one of the best players in the NBA this season.

He is averaging 24 points and 11 rebounds. He has been as consistent a producer as LeBron or Kobe or Carmelo or Dwight. He clearly is an upper-echelon player worthy of recognition -- not to mention a sizable contract next season.

Last Week's Rank - 10
Bosh held up his end of the deal and helped the Raptors defeat the Knicks last week, which was a prerequisite to remaining in The Race. He even solidified his spot by helping beat the Mavericks. Since then, Toronto has lost two in a row, back to their inconsistent selves, though Bosh scored 44 in a loss to Milwaukee.

CB4 is getting the love baby! He gets the All Star nod, which was expected and makes the Top 5 in the "Race to the MVP"!! In general with the Raps winning games now, the team is getting more positive coverage south of the 49th parallel. Very nice! I said it last update, if the Dinos keep winning CB will crack the Top 5.

#5. Chris Bosh

Last Week's Rank - 8
If 34 double-doubles weren't already enough, Bosh made it clear he deserved an Eastern Conference All-Star roster spot -- probably a starting spot, if only Canada voted like China -- with 27 and 15 Thursday against New York and alleged coaches' snubbee David Lee.
